! Interpret data with caution; coefficient of variation is 50 percent or more.
Reporting standards not met.
1 “Other race, non-Hispanic” includes children who were multiracial and not of Hispanic ethnicity, or who were American Indian or Alaska Native, or were not Hispanic, White, Black, Asian, or Pacific Islander.
2 Complete descriptions of the categories for parents' language are as follows: (1) “Both/only parent(s) learned English as child(ren) or currently speak(s) English in the home,” (2) “One of two parents learned English as a child or currently speaks English in the home,” and (3) “No parent learned English as a child and both/only parent(s) currently speak(s) a non-English language in the home.”
3 Students without mothers living in the household are not included in estimates related to mother's education, enrollment, employment status, or work shift.
4 Work shifts were collapsed into two categories: regular and variable work shifts. A regular work shift is one with set hours. A variable shift is one that changes from days to evenings or nights regardless of whether the hours are set by the employer or the employee. The number of hours worked was not considered in the creation of this variable.
5 Parents or guardians respond “yes” or “no” to the question: “Are there any conditions in your neighborhood that make you worried about the health or safety of ((CHILD)/any of the children) in your household?”
6 Students are considered poor if they were living in households with incomes below the poverty threshold, which is a dollar amount determined by the federal government to meet the household's needs, given its size and composition.
NOTE: Estimates include students in kindergarten through eighth grade, not older than 15 years, not homeschooled, and enrolled in at least one weekly school- or center-based after-school care program. Students may have multiple school- or center-based after-school care arrangements, therefore percentages may sum to more than 100. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
